Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 is a SIMATIC NET CP 5612 PCI communications processor. It connects a compatible PG or PC to PROFIBUS or MPI for automation communication, commissioning and diagnostics.
  • Connects an industrial PC or programming device to PROFIBUS or MPI
  • Handles cyclic and engineering communication through one RS-485 network port
  • Fits a 32-bit PCI slot with universal 3.3/5 V keying
  • Supports network rates from commissioning speed through 12 Mbit/s

6GK1561-2AA00 installs with PG/PC with one compatible 32-bit PCI slot, PROFIBUS or MPI network cable and approved 9-pin connector, Configured SIMATIC engineering or communication software, Terminated RS-485 bus with documented node address and transmission rate in an engineered SIMATIC NET CP 5612 configuration.

The commissioning workflow covers installed-hardware matching, controlled start-up and functional verification for this cp 5612 communications processor.

Important Notice: Confirm the complete 6GK1561-2AA00 marking, installed-system configuration, field connections and controlled functional test before commissioning or replacement.

Industrial PC network interfaceAdds a single RS-485 PROFIBUS/MPI interface to a host computer with the required PCI slot and driver environment.
Plant maintenance communicationSupports controlled access to installed automation networks while preserving the documented bus address, rate and termination plan.
Read the applicable Siemens installation instructions before work. Verify 6GK1561-2AA00 and the installed SIMATIC NET CP 5612 configuration.
1Verify the complete 6GK1561-2AA00 marking and confirm a compatible 32-bit PCI host slot before installation.
2Shut down the host, isolate mains power and follow ESD controls before handling the CP 5612 card.
3Seat the universal-key PCI edge connector squarely and secure the bracket without stressing the board.
4Use an approved 9-pin PROFIBUS/MPI connector and preserve the documented RS-485 shield and grounding arrangement.
5Confirm that bus termination is enabled only at the physical ends of the segment before energizing the network.
6Restore the recorded node address, transfer rate, driver and application assignment before communication tests.
7Check host diagnostics and the network error counters before changing additional devices on the segment.
8Prove engineering access and cyclic communication under controlled conditions before returning the workstation to service.

Technical notes

Install 6GK1561-2AA00 only in a compatible 32-bit PCI slot with host power isolated and ESD controls active. Restore the recorded interface assignment, bus address, transfer rate and termination state before controlled communication testing.

FAQS

  • What host slot is required for Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00?
    Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 uses a 32-bit PCI interface with 3.3/5 V universal keying and supports 33 or 66 MHz PCI operation. Confirm the host computer slot and clearance before installation.
  • Which networks can Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 connect to?
    Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 provides one RS-485 communications interface for PROFIBUS or MPI. The configured network type, node address and transmission rate must match the installed system.
  • What PROFIBUS speed range is supported by Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00?
    The CP 5612 data sheet specifies transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s through 12 Mbit/s. Use the exact rate configured for the connected bus segment.
  • How is Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 connected to the fieldbus?
    The card uses one 9-pin Sub-D socket with an RS-485 electrical interface. Use the approved PROFIBUS/MPI connector, cable, shield connection and termination arrangement.
  • What should be recorded before replacing Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00?
    Record the complete article number, PCI slot, installed driver, application assignment, bus address, transfer rate, connector orientation, shield treatment and termination state.
  • How should engineers handle ESD risk on Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00?
    Power down the host and use the prescribed electrostatic-discharge controls while handling the exposed PCI card. Hold it by the edges and protect both the edge connector and Sub-D interface.
  • What should be checked if Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 cannot communicate after installation?
    Check PCI seating, driver recognition, application-to-interface assignment, node address, selected bus rate, connector pinning, cable shield, segment termination and the connected device diagnostics.
  • Can more than one Siemens 6GK1561-2AA00 be installed in the same PC?
    The Siemens technical data lists one same-design CP 5612 plug-in card per PC. Confirm the supported host and software configuration before planning another interface.
